especially glad i picked up the plat. dvds a few years back given that the UK can't access criterion. getting to keep fly me to the moon (and the many variants throughout the series) is a neat bonus

I rewatched with my GF when it came to Netflix which was her first time seeing it, I think the new dub is mostly solid (tho I miss “I mustn’t run away”) but not having Fly Me to the Moon hurt.

Yeah same here. And then I showed her an episode from my platinum ADV disc and she said that "Fly me to the moon" is like a tonal whiplash that changes the show, and I agree. Always ending with a breezy "Fly me to the moon" is a palette cleanser, the current piano BGM just makes the show depressing.

I feel like there are more deserving anime series with less questionable content. I don't exactly feel like that one hospital scene with shinji is "peak cinema"
